Gary Neville described Manchester United's derby defeat as a "bad day" for Michael Carrick's side, with the pressure increasing after failing to beat 10-man Manchester City at Old Trafford.

United failed to make their numerical advantage count after Phil Foden was sent off early on in the first half, losing 1-0 to Erling Haaland's controversial winner.

Refereeing body Pro Ref admitted an error in awarding Manchester City's winner just hours after the final whistle.

They revealed it had made contact with Manchester United to acknowledge an "error of judgment" and that the VAR "should have recommended an on-field review" with Enzo Fernandez, in an offside position, potentially impacting play.

Sky Sports News understands United have received an apology over the incorrect VAR decision.
